The source? Google Images, of course! (With the “SafeSearch” filter turned off, needless to say.) Type in various combinations of “bizarre,” “sex,” “freaky,” “perverted,” etc. and just keep clicking and scrolling until your eyes explode and your soul dies, and you can find a picture of almost anything. Took me about 15 minutes to track these down (and another 15 minutes to blur the naughty parts). The therapy to recover from the experience, alas, will take years.

I believe he used the “can’t say with certitude” line b/c there are other similar pictures out there sent by him.

He has to wait until his lawyers track down all the other starry-eyed liberal co-ed recipients and pay them off to forestall the possibility of the other pictures popping up somewhere (possibly the N. Enquirer, right Tiger). After all, jobs are hard to find right now for graduates with useless majors like journalism.

Once he issues a confident denial that the picture isn’t him, you’ll know the ink has dried on all the settlement documents and the IT teams have scrubbed the recipients computers.
